But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected.DeLuca says，“After six months，we were doing poorly，but we didn’t know how badly，because we didn’t have any financial controls.”All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time.Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York.They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running.“We convinced ourselves to open a second store.We figured we could tell the public，‘We are so successful，and we are opening a second store.’”And they did—in the spring of 1966.Still，it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners’ learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength.Every Friday，DeLuca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their suppliers.“It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary， but as a result，the suppliers got to know me very well，and the personal relationships established really helped out，” DeLuca says. And having a goal was also important.“There are so many problems that can get you down.You just have to keep working toward your goal，” DeLuca adds.

Rara suna cara，said the Romans.Rare is valuable.In fact，the scarcity error is as old as mankind.My friend with the three children is a parttime realestate(房 地产) agent.Whenever she has an interested buyer who cannot decide，she calls and says “A doctor from London saw the plot of land yesterday.He liked it a lot.What about you？Are you still interested？” The doctor from London—sometimes it’s a professor or a banker—is，of course，not true.The effect is very real，though： it causes prospects to see the opportunity disappearing before their eyes，so they act and close the deal.Why？This is the potential shortage of supply.Objectively， this situation is incomprehensible：either the prospect wants the land for the set price or he does not—regardless of any doctors from London. In one study ， students were asked to arrange ten posters in order of attractiveness—with the agreement that afterward they could keep one poster as a reward for their participation.Five minutes later，they were told that the poster with the third highest rating was no longer available.Then they were asked to judge all ten once again.The poster that was no longer available was suddenly classified as the most beautiful.In psychology，this phenomenon is called reactance：when we are deprived(剥夺) of an option，we suddenly consider it more attractive.It is also known as the Romeo and Juliet effect：because the love between the tragic Shakespearean teenagers is forbidden，it knows no bounds(难以自己)． In conclusion ： the typical response to scarcity is failure in clear thinking.Assess products and services solely on the basis of their price and benefits.It should be of no importance if an item is disappearing fast，nor if any doctors from London take an interest. 语篇解读 本文向我们介绍了心理学上一个有趣的现象：物缺错误效应，即罗密欧与朱 丽叶效应。而这常常是非理性的，是错误的。 11．The writer gave the three children some glass marbles because . 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 A．they preferred glass marbles to toy guns B．they wanted some gifts from the writer C．he expected the children to calm down D．he tried to experiment on them 答案 C 解析 细节理解题。由第一段第四句话中的“...in the hope that the little angels would play with them in peace.”可知，作者给他们玻璃玩具弹子是想让他们安静地玩。 12．The three children fought for the blue marble because . A．it was the largest one B．they preferred blue color C．other marbles were less shiny D．it was the only one of that color 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。由第一段倒数第二、三句可知，蓝色的玻璃玩具弹子只有一颗，尽管它和 其他的弹子大小、明亮度都一样。所以孩子们为它争斗只是因为它是唯一的一颗蓝色的弹子。 13．What does the underlined part “the prospect” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．An interested buyer. B．A professor. C．A doctor from London. D．A realestate agent. 答案 A 解析 词义猜测题。由画线词后面的内容 wants the land for the set price 可知，此处应 该是指本段第五句话中提到的有兴趣的购买者。 14．By lying about a doctor from London，the writer’s friend meant to . A．comfort the interested customer B．attract more potential customers C．provide medical service for potential buyers D．drive the interested buyer to make the purchase 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。由第二段中的“The doctor from London—sometimes it’s a professor or a banker—is，of course，not true.The effect is very real，though：it causes prospects to see the opportunity disappearing before their eyes，so they act and close the deal.”可知，虚构的伦敦医生可能会促使买家购买。 15．The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that . 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 A．parttime agents are not reliable B．scarcity can lead to wrong decisions C．the story of Romeo and Juliet is not true D．people should buy things based on their price 答案 B 解析 写作意图题。由最后一段可推知，以该效应作为判断依据，人们往往会做出错误的决断。 Ⅱ.阅读表达 (2016·天津十二区县一模) Normally，I loved birthdays.When my son and three daughters were little，my husband，Charles，and I always made sure to have dinner，followed by a big cake and presents. Later，when the kids grew up and lived in different states，they always called to wish me a happy birthday.But this year I could have skipped the whole day，knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving，the one from my daughter Patty.She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before.One thing which made me feel a little calm was a voice message that she’d left on my cell phone the night before she died， telling me she loved me. Over the following days I played her message of wishes over and over again， listening to the last words she said.“I love you very，very much，Mom.” Then，a couple of weeks before my birthday，while I was doing laundry，I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine.Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off，but when I checked my voicemail，Patty’s message was gone.I cried，heartbroken.Day after day I kept checking my voicemail，hoping Patty’s message would reappear.It never did. On the morning of my birthday，I received my son’s wishes.However，all I wanted for my birthday was to hear Patty’s voice again.“Happy birthday.” Charles said， “let’s go out for dinner and a movie.It might help take your mind off things.” Charles was right.I turned off my phone，settled into my seat in the movie theater and let the film take me away.But the minute it ended I started thinking about Patty again.As we were walking out of the theater，I turned on my phone.It rang，signaling I’d gotten a voice message.Probably just my youngest daughter，Lesley，calling to wish me a happy birthday，I thought. I dialed up voicemail and the message began.It was Patty’s voice，clear as a bell，saying again，“I love you very，very much，Mom.” 16．How did the family celebrate the author’s birthday when the children were young？ 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 (No more than 10 words) By having dinner with a big cake and presents./They had dinner with a big cake and presents. 17．Why didn’t the author want to celebrate her birthday this year？(No more than 15 words) Because she knew she couldn’t receive her daughter Patty’s call/wishes.Or：Because her daughter Patty passed away and couldn’t send her wishes. 18．How do you understand the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph？(No more than 8 words) It might help her forget sadness/sad things/Patty’s death. 19．What happened when the author was doing some washing one day？(No more than 15 words) She accidentally dropped her phone into the washing machine and lost the voicemail from Patty. 20．What do you think of the story？Give your reasons in your own words.(No more than 20 words) I think it is moving/touching.Because whatever happens，the great love between parents and children still exists.
